In February, family shared that Simpson had been diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He was known as a football star who later became an actor and was a defendant in arguably the biggest murder trial in U.S. history. A jury declared Simpson not guilty of murder, but he was later found guilty in a civil trial.
Simpson was 76-years-old at the time of his death.
